I thought surely it must be satire, but this was legitimately posted on his Facebook account. I have no words. I guess we're trying to bring back Byzantium now
US's writers have gotten really lazy since season 240 or so. It's like they turned the whole show over to a Poe's Law bot. I keep hoping for something good...there's interesting fan fic, but they never seem to follow up.
I did the dirty but couldn't find it. I need a deep cleanse now.
Okay, ignoring that reading this has made me even stupider - I always assume there was SOME kind of thought process that lead to such statements (yeah yeah I know, haha politicians and thought processes ololollol) and I'm very interested in this one. What exactly happened there? Where did the connection between the Hagia Sophia and the office of senator for South Carolina come from? What is he free-associating?

He is a senator. The Roman empire continues.
Even senators need some kind of prompt to produce their nonsense. Who told this guy the Hagia Sophia was in the circle of influence of the SC senator?
US politicians believe their constituents elect them to police the middle east. See everything in Iran, Iraq, their rabbid support for Israel, etc.
They truly believe that God granted them this power to spread his war on Muslims. That's why a SC sensor thinks he has control over Hagia Sophia.
Religion masking fascism
Does he not realize that the Hagia Sophia is not under the control of the US in any way, shape, or form?
Well yeah. But since the war in iran is now totally and completely won. They need a new barbaric country to liberate.
